Keyboard Cat comes from the viral video of Fatso, a cat filmed by Charlie Schmidt in the 1980s wearing a blue shirt and appearing to play a keyboard. The clip was uploaded online in 2007 and became widely known through the “play him off” format, where it followed bloopers, wipeouts and embarrassing moments. It remains popular because the jaunty tune and visual gag are instantly readable, making it one of the defining early internet meme sounds.
